I love them, I'm nearly 31 , saw them at Camp Bestival.. they were friggin awesome!!

CocacolaMum · 17/11/2013 23:36

I like them too. I am 31

IneedAsockamnesty · 17/11/2013 23:41

If they are who I think the song they were singing sounds much like another band who jumped around yelling "your unbelievable"

Joysmum · 17/11/2013 23:47

I saw them a couple of years back at Camp Bestival. They are not my thing at all but were the highlight of the festival as they were so obviously talented. I'm 40 btw

Well they did feature middle aged women singing along to their music in "Mama do the hump" I love them too, they're a bit different.

DumSpiroSpero · 18/11/2013 00:06

They are brilliant - took DD to see them last year and thinking of getting tickets for next year too.

I'm 38! Grin.

PowerPants · 18/11/2013 00:10

I like them and I am mid 40s!

thenicknameiwantedisgone · 18/11/2013 00:11

I am 40 and saw them as part of Alton towers live last year with DS1 (12), they were fab! Far better than James Arrhur, little mix, labyrinth, stooshie etc. I really enjoyed rizzlekicks, they got everyone dancing and the energy was brilliant.

Not quite as good as Olly Murs though, he was great!

ZooTimeIsSheAndYouTime · 18/11/2013 00:17

I love the mama do the hump video. Its really their mums too iirc Grin

Lilacroses · 18/11/2013 06:56

coribells · 18/11/2013 07:20

I am 43, I like Rizle kicks. Have also downloaded there album, trying to get my DS interested so I won't look a saddo at a concert .

jamdonut · 18/11/2013 07:46

I love them..saw them at Leeds Festival in 2011 when they were hardly heard of! I'm 49! Grin

SoupDragon · 18/11/2013 07:47

I love Rizzle Kicks. They always look like they're having so much fun!

DaddyPigsMistress · 18/11/2013 07:50

Dp calls them the rizzle kicks. Now thats uncool

ABitterPIL · 18/11/2013 07:55

Oh glad I am not alone . I even like how they dont offend my feminist principles. Again sooo not their target audience

I'm 46 and love Rizzle kicks.

Sparklingbrook · 18/11/2013 09:27

I am old but love them for . Grin

Quangle · 18/11/2013 09:30

Absolutely love them and I'm 45. Sorry boys Grin

Loved their video for Mama...it's got their actual mums on it (they look about my age Shock)

Love their attitude as well. They had a thoughtful piece recently about not appreciating the sexism and homophobia in a lot of rap.

Quangle · 18/11/2013 09:35

Also this is why they should bring back TOTP. I saw them on the TOTP of the Year - at Christmas last year. Without that sort of programme that appeals to lots of people, I would never have seen or heard of them (can't do R1 because too much inane talk and down with the kids stuff, can't do Capital because too much shouting, can't do any music tv channels because of twerking and I'm not having my 7 yo think that's normal).

Also TOTP was what everyone talked about on a Friday morning, when I were a lass. So many "oh my god, did you see..." moments from my childhood.

ScarerStratton · 18/11/2013 10:36

Rubbish, I am 46 and love them. And my DDs steal my iPhone to play my music.

SpottyDottie · 18/11/2013 11:05

I was in Hmv the other day and had to ask what they were playing. It was Rizzle Kicks 'Lost Generation' on the latest clubland cd. Grin

Dobbiesmum · 18/11/2013 11:11

Did they do Baggy Trousers with Madness at CIN Rocks? I've never really taken much notice of them before but they were pretty good. Are they suitable for 12/13 year olds who are into rap and Dubstep?

Sparklingbrook · 18/11/2013 11:13

YY Dobbies, I have linked up there ^

Dobbiesmum · 18/11/2013 11:17

Oops, missed your link, will have a look Smile

Absolutmum · 18/11/2013 11:32

I bloody love them and I'm 51! Might try and persuade the 11 year old to go and see them with me.
